Before I start - I lived in Korea for 9 years and have a good understanding of more popular Korean food.We arrived for lunch and wife wanted something spicy.Ordered mandu and kimchee with pork soup - $300 - so was expecting something both big and good as you would get in a Korean restaurant in Korea.It arrived on the table and, to be honest, was an insult to Korean food. The pot in which it arrived would be good for one hungry person and there were only two mandu visible. We called the waitress
We arrived for lunch and wife wanted something spicy.
Ordered mandu and kimchee with pork soup - $300 - so was expecting something both big and good as you would get in a Korean restaurant in Korea.
It arrived on the table and, to be honest, was an insult to Korean food. The pot in which it arrived would be good for one hungry person and there were only two mandu visible. We called the waitress over who took the lid off and stirred it - she managed to find two more. She left again.
Started to probe around in the soup - it was a matter of about 2cms deep, maybe 3. There was no meat AT ALL in the soup. There was however a small lump of bone and a lump of connective tissue - see below.
The food was not as it was described in the menu so was cancelled before we started and we ordered something else instead - things we knew should be OK.
The calbi tang and bibimbap quickly arrived instead and we ate but were disappointed overall. We were only there as my wife wanted something spicy - that wasn't delivered.
The staff were very apologetic though and very attentive once they knew that we knew what Korean food was about.
We have eaten there before and everything was fine. Just be careful with the prok, kimchee and mandu soup.
